HAL: I'll come, but can you give me like two minutes? Stopping these losers will barely delay me, but people could die if I don't intervene.
GUARDIAN: Shit no! You don't get to be the oldest race in the universe by listening to reasonable requests! Get moving!

Several weeks later, Hal Jordan would remember that he can create temporary Green Lantern rings and that he could have tossed a few to trusted coworkers as he flew off. He smacked himself in the head and accidentally knocked himself unconscious.
'So, you get an automatic red-hot rivet firing gun, you get a souped-up high speed steam roller that can defy physics, you get a helmet that can smash through solid brick and you...get a shovel.'
'I've got two hands - can I at least have one for each arm?'
'Don't be daft, we're on a budget here!'
I think this issue is quite literally the first GL (and one my earliest DC) purchases ever - so it holds a special place in my collecting heart.
The Guardians thinking things through? Next you'll be telling me a plot to create the next generation of humanity with a group including a homosexual male, a white supremacist and a man made of plants isn’t a good idea.

On the other hand, it's just as well -- they and their equipment were all wearing yellow.
Either way, might have been a good time to call in a favor/backup from the League.
